Kid Win’s eyes went wide. He glanced at the laptop.
Recognizing yourself in that description?
“I know enough other tinkers to know that look. You just had a stroke of inspiration?”
“Sort of. More like a bunch of half-assed ideas all at once.”
The ADD life.
“Don’t let me distract you. If you want to take a minute to make some notes on whatever came to mind, I won’t be offended in the slightest.”
That seems especially helpful considering the ADD. It’d be so easy for it to slip back out if he didn’t take notes.
“It’s okay.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah. I-” Kid Win paused. “I guess I’d rather keep talking to you than write down ideas that probably won’t work out.”
You’re letting it show a bit more, just how much this conversation means to you. 🙂
“Thank you. I’d say you shouldn’t worry too much about trying to emulate Hero. It’s heartening, if I had to put a word to the feeling, that you look up to him and carry on his legacy. But you have your own specialization and your own strengths.”
Alright, so we are looking at Kid’s confusion over his specialty today, then. Nice.
I’m not sure whether I want him to have a really similar specialty to Hero or not, honestly. Having a similar specialty would really drive home their similarity and the fact that someone like Kid can become great, but Legend has a point. There’s emulating and then there’s letting their identity take over yours.
